to use to make my rosary like piece that I've imagined having one day. And I was thinking of using two tire like beads that I have above and below the ebony wood piece. Those with the black base and red and white squiggle lines.

I just wish I could make what I see in my head happen. My skills with leather are rudimentary. I actually have trouble with those stupid knots on just a simple leather pendant. I'll make one great and then when doing the other side ...I'm like...how did I do that.

I guess that's what knowing your own strengths and weaknesses. I have been able to do a simple knotted necklace, like the ones you use to make between pearls and have been pleased with my outcome. I did take one class at a beading store for that. Though, now I'd have to sit and think about it for a bit.
